For a long time, sun shading have not only been considered as an element for improving comfort at work and leisure. Changing climatic conditions and rising energy prices make shading an important component of any building, not only reducing costs but also contributing to environmental protection.

Modern energy-efficient buildings are designed to maximise the use of the sun's rays as a natural source of heat, making it all the more necessary to offset the impact of the sun during the hot months of the year.  By using solar shading, the operation of air-conditioning units can be significantly reduced, thereby lowering electricity consumption. Users can take full advantage of the benefits of solar shading systems with control automation that reacts to changes in the weather.

The energy saved translates into the amount of toxic substances that would be produced in energy production and carbon dioxide emissions. Special programmes, which simulate the energy balance of a building, calculate accurate data assessing the effectiveness of solar shading.
